GEARMAN_TASK_ATTR_T(3)

✨ gearman_task_attr_t(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Gearmand docs (that's http://gearman.info/ btw 💖) and it's manual section 3, so it's all about the C library life. pull up a chair, we're doing types today 🫶

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

gearman_task_attr_t — the Gearmand Documentation girlie, living her best life over at http://gearman.info/ ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta include her:

#include <libgearman/gearman.h>

then we've got these types and functions:

type gearman_work_t

type gearman_job_priority_t

gearman_work_t gearman_work(gearman_job_priority_t priority)

gearman_work_t gearman_work_epoch(time_t <#c.time_t> epoch,
gearman_job_priority_t priority)

gearman_work_t gearman_work_background(gearman_job_priority_t priority)

and do not forget — compile and link with -lgearman or literally nothing works, no cap 😭

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, gearman_work_t is the lil struct that describes the work for gearman_execute() — it's giving "here's my resume, please run me" 📄✨

• gearman_work() — creates a gearman_work_t with a priority. that's it, that's the girl. priorities stay winning 👑
• gearman_work_epoch() — creates a gearman_work_t that tells gearman_execute() to run the workload at the exact time specified by epoch. it's the "scheduled post" of the job world, iconic behavior ⏰💖
• gearman_work_background() — creates a gearman_work_t that tells gearman_execute() to run the workload as a background job. main character energy, she does NOT need your attention 🦋

ngl bestie, if you're passing these around without reading them properly, that's on you. epoch timing and background-ness are not vibes you can just guess at 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
